Spheres of influence
“When you want something, cast a spell for something; it does fill your own sphere. You send out fishing lines of energy to see if anyone responds and can help manifest this energy. It’s not like you took out a billboard on the side of Route 66; you are not recruiting for Amway. The energy of your spell is looking for a response and a way to manifest so it will test what and who you know first. Any intention you create needs the connection or influence of another body to manifest.
When you light a candle for love, you need another person to respond, or there is a lot of self loving going on in your sphere. Actually, you probably need a few other spheres of influence to introduce you to that new person.”

When you start to look at (Or if you are a Virgo, you start to chart) all of your relationships you see how they influence you and through that influence can change the course of your life. Imagine if you will, you are a bubble and there are no pins or sharp edges anywhere around you. As a bubble, you are part of a bubble collective and there are bubble all around you. The bubbles that are closest to you put the most pressure on your surface area. If one of those bubbles changes color you reflect that color or even absorb it.

Sympathetic magic is having an emotional connection with the ideal you want to manifest. When you keep it all in your head, like an intention, you can over intellectualize your spell thus blocking out that much needed emotional element. Adding in the sympathetic part in any way shape or form connects your magic to your emotions, helping them gain steam or the passion needed to propel them into manifesting.
You need that emotional connection to your magic, it brings out the innocent belief in magic. It is that child like belief that fuels your spells and helps them manifest that much quicker and smoother.

I reference sympathetic magic repeatedly throughout the book
because it is a big part of candle magic. Sympathetic magic uses the properties
of “like affects like,” where you have a representative item that matches your
goal in either a vibrational or visual way. For example, a doll, picture, or
personal concern (DNA from someone, ewww) is used to focus the energy of your
magic and give it a signature vibration of the person the magic is for. Combine
an image, word, or picture with a magical candle (or stone or other magical
item) to blend the vibration of the person or thing to the vibration of magic
you want to manifest.
